I wanted to post a response to this question, but I don't want it to show up in my list of answers (not only because I don't want it associated with my careers account, but also I don't want it associated with me at all). It would be nice if I could check this while submitting my post:

[ x ] Post anonymously (no reputation will be earned; post will not appear in your list of questions/answers)

...which would make the post be owned by the Community user, so that it is truly anonymous. If this option were available when editing a post (like "make community wiki" is), it could be used to anonymize earlier posts as well, without needing to involve a moderator.

Look, we all already know about your time in a Siberian circus. It's nothing to be ashamed of, really. The good news is that most employers admire a candidate who has experience scooping up elephant dung, as it's eerily similar to most corporate jobs. Your time as the beared lady, however, is trickier to spin. Just put down "intern," that's close enough.

That would work, but it feels like a crude workaround. We are capable of being more elegant about it. :)

It may feel like a crude workaround, but how often does it come up? Is it worth the time to design, implement, and test it, or would that time be better spent on some other problem where there is no workaround?

@Calmarius If you log out, then the only thing you need to provide to post a question is an email address - something that is easily obtained anonymously - so yes, you can post questions anonymously.
